The Finale of Game of Thrones aired this past Sunday, resulting in a mixture of emotions and opinions across the Internet. With more than 50% left unsatisfied with the direction of Season 8, and the impact Game of Thrones has on everybody's Backlogs, we felt it was appropriate to give the show a proper sendoff.
Jerry Beharry returns to provide insight as a non-book reader, while Kevin's brother-in-law Frank Seitz and brother Jeremy Lane provide deep insight as "multiple time book readers". Kevin hosts the show, navigating between different topics such as the controversy behind Season 8's pacing and the writers moving to Disney to work on 3 Star Wars films.
If you watched Game of Thrones, you wont want to miss this wrap up from a group of fans with different takes on the topic. Enjoy.

In Episode 55, Joe and Kevin get right into it talking about last week's awesome acquisition of The Partisan Spy, a phenomenal game review writer now posting on TheBacklogPod.com (check his reviews out here).
They also are super excited to announce they are now paired up with a Fortnite Support a Creator Code (USE CODE BACKLOG in the FORTNITE ITEM SHOP)
Joe's still sniping in Blackout - check out his YouTube here
We talk PokemonGo and the possibility of a deeper dive in a future episode
Console still needs better custom controls and we talk about an idea posted online (see the Reddit Post here)
FitXR offers a giveaway code for their new game BoxVR (see it here)
We talk partnerships
And Kevin finishes it off telling us about his night at the Dan Band concert. Don't know who the Dan Band is? You probably do and just don't know it. Check check them out here.

This is a unique episode, but we think you're going to have fun with this one. We have obtained a Spy. The Partisan Spy to be exact. We know nothing about him other than that he doesn't want to be known, and he wants to revolutionize the Game Review space. He's well on his way and we're here to help him as we have joined forces to give him a platform. In this episode, Kevin and Joe try to get as much out of the Spy as they can as they learn with the Audience just what he's all about.
Headphone Alert - the Spy's got a Voice Changer!

Take a listen, the Backlog Podcast is here.

In Episode 52, Joe and Kevin talk about the re-branding of The Backlog Exposed Podcast - now primarily known as "The Backlog Podcast". They also get deep into the newly released World War Z and Joe provides a No Spoiler review of Avengers: End Game. The podcast is packed with info and updates as well as great conversation. Stick around for the news, hang out for the laughs, and leave wanting more. That's how we do it on the Backlog Podcast.

Every once in a while we like to dedicate entire episodes of the Backlog Podcast to other topics important to us and our listeners - so Episode 51 is dedicated to the newest Tag Team on Monday Night RAW, the Viking Raiders - otherwise known as The Viking Experience - otherwise known as The War Raiders - otherwise known as War Machine.
After Hanson and Rowe, current NXT Tag Team Champions, arrived on RAW, fans were stunned to find out Vince McMahon changed their name at the last instant - first calling them the Berzerkers (ala the Jobber from years ago), and then settling on The Viking Experience - Ivar and Erick. As someone who knows Todd (Hanson/Ivar) personally, this was a shock. The resulting meme and exposure turned into something more, and just before Raw on 4/22, their names changed again. All we know is that their name doesn't matter - the job they do in the ring does. Sorry for the delay, but enjoy this take on the name change and what's in store for the Viking Raiders.

There isn't much to say, other than Thank You. 50 Episodes in and we're just getting started. Joe and Kevin tackle the status of the Podcast, think back to some fond memories over the past 50 episodes, and talk about some things to come. Also, it wouldn't be a good reminiscing of old Backlog Podcast episodes without a few audio glitches in the mix. Sorry for Kevin's feed, there was some rabbits chewing his microphone cable. It'll be fixed next episode!

In Episode 49, the boys are back together and they are excited. One more episode until that big 50 mark. Kevin hits Joel with some quickfire - discussing a wide range of topics from the latest Video Game and VR news like No Man's Sky VR coming this Summer, to WrestleMania and NXT TakeOver NY. It's always good when you get nearly an hour and a half with Kevin and Joel going back and forth giving their opinions on gaming headsets, next generation consoles and controllers, Game of Thrones final Season, the Shazam and Captain Marvel movies, and a boat-load more. Take some time and listen to it all - and then you'll be caught up with what's happening.

This touches on what is important and we'll be gearing up and getting ready with both Kevin and Joe in the coming days.

Episode 47 is a landmark episode. It represents the number of times Joe or Kevin have uploaded a podcast for our growing fanbase, but it also represents a number that is near and dear to Joe's heart. I have no idea why, but its one of his favorite numbers, so Kevin let him take this one alone. While Kevin recuperates from Carpal and Cubital Tunnel surgery, Joe runs down the details on one of the most important announcements of 2019.
